The NuoDB database is SQL-compliant, highly resilient, requires minimal database administration, guarantees the integrity of transactions, and scales out and in effortlessly on commodity cloud-based resources to deliver high performance at web-scale with highly efficient and flexible resource utilization. Unlike every other database, NuoDB is built for the cloud from the ground up on an emergent architecture - a shared nothing, asynchronous, peer-to-peer approach that is ideal for the cloud, yet it delivers the power, reliability and functionality of a traditional database.

Based on all the user feedback, I am confident that over the course of this year developers will rapidly adopt NuoDB to migrate existing and build new web-scale applications.” Beta 6 Availability The NuoDB Beta 6 software is available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux platforms and can be downloaded for free at http://www.nuodb.com/download.php.
